Carson Daly is ready to tie the knot. The former MTV VJ and brand-spankin'-new Today show personality is engaged to his longtime girlfriend, food blogger Siri Pinter. The couple have two children together, three-year-old Jack and 13-month-old Etta. Siri was spotted wearing an engagement-y ring on THAT finger during an outing yesterday, and it is, indeed, an engagement ring, a source confirms to Us Weekly. Click here to see the ring and read the full story. Looks to me like a cushion-cut diamond on a plain band. A nice break from all the halo rings we've seen lately.

Weddings don't necessarily have to follow tradition, right? So what about the engagement process? Today—on Today, as a matter of fact!—there's an interesting story about how there's a new trend on the rise: couples splitting the cost of an engagement ring. In the story, Jaya Saxena talks about how she helped pay for the setting of her engagement ring: "I said that since I'm the one who wants a ring, I don't want the burden of the cost to be just on him. I asked him to use that diamond whenever the time came." So Jaya contributed (though she says she didn't exactly pay for an entire half), and that meant the couple has been able to save more money to pay for their upcoming wedding and honeymoon. And wedding experts say that the trend may make sense: With more couples sharing financial responsibility and household decision-making, why not split the cost of the ring or repurpose a family heirloom? They say that the process may even help foster a new connection between the newlyweds-to-be. But some brides and grooms are so-so about the idea—maybe they want the ring to be a complete surprise, or they like the tradition of read more

Before she got engaged to Matthew Mossheart, Kelly Osbourne knew exactly what kind of ring she wanted...and the design was all inspired by her dad, Ozzy! Here's what she says about the design of her Tiffany & Co., bezel-set sparkler: "I designed it to look like an earring that my father wore. I used to hold my finger up to his ear when I was little and say: 'I want a ring like that.' Now I have one!" I think that's pretty sweet, don't you? (And who knew Ozzy trended toward classic styles with his own jewelry choices?) Photos: Getty Images; kellyosbourne/Instagram read more

If you're not necessarily feeling the idea of pairing an engagement ring with a wedding ring, or maybe you want to move your engagement ring from your left hand to your right, here's a possible solution: statement wedding bands, which kind of put the two together—prettily! Statement bands are usually larger and sparklier than regular wedding rings. Just a look at these lovely statement bands from Gemvara—each style can be customized according to the metal and gemstones you choose, so prices vary wildly, but they all start at $1,000: 14K Rose-Gold Ring With Topaz and Diamond: 14K White-Gold and Rose-Gold Ring With Diamonds: The Renaissance Band in Yellow Gold with Rubies: 14K White-Gold Ring With Sapphires: Hopscotch Eternity Band in Rose Gold With Rhodalite Garnets: So what do you think about statement bands in lieu of traditional wedding rings?

When Andy Samberg (who's also a groom-to-be, engaged to songwriter Joanna Newsom) went on Jimmy Kimmel's show recently, they ended up talking about...weddings. Of course! After all, Jimmy just got married to writer Molly McNearney. And Jimmy had some interesting revelations too! First: It turns out that he apparently lost his wedding ring since the ceremony. Yoinks! But he also said that when it was time to pick out his perfect ring, he headed to...Costco! Costco.com, really, where there are actually seriously pretty wedding sparklers up for sale, ranging in price from the mid-hundreds to the five figures. (He seems quite genuine about the news—in fact, you may be watching the new Costco spokesperson. Kidding!) What do you think: Does it matter where the wedding or engagement ring comes from?

Ooh. As if finding the perfect gorgeous ring isn't awesome enough...these rings also benefit others when you buy them. Do Amore creates gorgeous rings made with recycled precious metals and conflict-free diamonds (and even the ring boxes are handmade from sustainable wood). And this is super cool: The company uses its profits to drill clean-water wells for villages in developing countries, where locals are taught how to maintain and repair the wells. Do Amore says that every ring bought translates to two people having access to clean water—for life. Pretty neat, right? And the rings are truly gorgeous! Photo: Do Amore read more

Kelly Osbourne just shared a photo of her fancy new manicure on Instagram, and there's ALSO a glimpse of a pretty ring on THAT finger. So I'm assuming the ring in question is her engagement ring from Matthew Mosshart! (Kelly just 'fessed up to their engagement last week, but Glamour.com readers have known about it for months!) Here's the pic of the mani—and the (probably) engagement ring! Thoughts on Kelly Osbourne's engagement ring from Matthew Mosshart? Would you want a similar engagement ring? I really like it. I think it suits her! Photo: Getty Images read more

E! Fashion Police co-host Kelly Osbourne is engaged to vegan chef Matthew Mosshart, who she's been dating for about a year and a half. Of course this comes as no surprise to Glamour.com readers, since I predicted last November that they'd get engaged in 2013. I also mentioned back in January that Us Weekly was reporting that the couple—who met at Kate Moss's wedding—were undercover-engaged, and Kelly has FINALLY confirmed the news for us, telling British mag Hello! that the engagement news is official. From Us: "He popped the question during a romantic vacation in Anguilla, they reveal. 'I knew she was "The One" pretty early on,' the groom-to-be says. Adds Kelly: 'I've never felt this close to another human being, ever. People say we're co-dependent but we just want to be together all the time.' To seal his commitment, the New Yorker moved to L.A. to be with her. 'Matthew made the biggest sacrifice anyone's ever made for me, to move away from everything that he knew to be with me in L.A.'" So sweet! Read the full story here. Thoughts on Kelly Osbourne and Matthew Mosshart's engagement? I'm super excited for her. After witnessing her struggles when read more

As you put away the last of your winter clothing and begin the process of updating your wardrobe for summer, why not also try a new piece of jewelry? Now is the perfect time to try eclectic styles and layering pieces that would otherwise get lost under a big winter jacket, a hat, and gloves. We sat down with Nadine McKarthy Kahane, founder and chief executive officer of the Web-based jewelry site Stone & Strand , and Brooke Magnaghi, creative director, to get the scoop on what to wear this summer. 1. A number of long layered necklaces. "I particularly love Alison Lou’s pieces, which from far away look like regular old pendants but have a deeply infectious sense of humor when you get up close and personal," said Nadine. 2. Who doesn’t love neon brights in the summer? "These Nora Kogan cube earrings practically glow in the dark," Nadine added. 3. "We like to accessorize for a night out with a large statement piece and this silver sculptural ring by Lisa Linhardt will do the trick," she said. 4. Simple studs are a staple for travel and for those fuss-free days. She chose these Elizabeth and James Gold Bird read more

When Rihanna walked the Grammys red carpet last night, she was sporting a Neil Lane ring on almost every finger of her left hand (see above). But when she took the stage later that night—after snuggling up to Chris Brown in the audience—her left hand was noticeably less bling-y. Except for a lone diamond band on THAT finger. The timing is particularly icky, since both Rihanna and Chris Brown had to skip the Grammys four years ago when Chris was arrested on suspicion of battery and domestic violence during a vehicular incident following Clive Davis's pre-Grammys bash. (Rihanna was hospitalized for her injuries and Chris was later convicted of felony assault.) I can't express how much I hope Rihanna and Chris Brown AREN'T engaged—or worse, married. But at this point, I wouldn't be surprised. Do you think Rihanna and Chris Brown are engaged? Or married? Do you think she intentionally wore a diamond ring on THAT finger as a show of commitment? Or do you think it was just a girl wearing a ring she liked on the finger it happened to fit on? I think ANY celebrity who wears a ring on THAT finger knows it's going to read more

Us Weekly is reporting that E! Fashion Police co-host Kelly Osbourne is secretly engaged to Matthew Mosshart, who she's been dating for a little over a year. "Sources close to the couple confirm" that the two quietly got engaged just a few weeks before Christmas. Of course this is non-news to Save the Date readers, since I predicted the two would get engaged back in November. (That's two out of six now, if anyone's keeping score.) Read the full story here.
